You’ve probably seen the map of each state’s most popular brand by Steve Lovelace. We at eCollegeFinder, a leader in online college matching since 2004, wanted to have some fun by making our own version of the largest universities by enrollment. Searching through the National Center for Education Statistics’ database, we found the universities with highest population in terms of total students. In places such as Alabama, where a fierce rivalries exist between Alabama and Auburn, the selection might be an unpopular one, but the stats don’t lie! Using the logo from each university, we gave each state an identity, check out our map of the Largest Universities by Enrollment in each State!
